Abstract
A TiO2-based catalyst material in particle form having a content of metal removes pollutants, in particular of nitrogen oxides from combustion gases.
Description
- The invention relates to a catalyst material, more precisely a catalyst material based on TiO2 having a content of metal oxides and/or metal oxide precursors, a process for the production thereof and the use thereof for the removal of pollutants, in particular nitrogen oxides, from combustion gases.
- Nitrogen oxides formed in combustion lead to irritation and damage to the respiratory organs (especially in the case of nitrogen dioxide), and formation of acid rain due to formation of nitric acid. In the removal of nitrogen oxides from flue gas (also known as DeNOx), nitrogen oxides such as nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are, for example, removed from the offgas of coal-fired or gas turbine power stations.
- As measures for removing nitrogen oxides from the offgases, reductive processes such as selective catalytic processes (selective catalytic reduction, SCR) are known in the prior art. The term SCR refers to the technique of selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides in offgases from firing plants, domestic waste incineration plants, gas turbines, industrial plants and engines.
- Many such catalysts contain TiO2, with the TiO2 acting as catalyst itself or acting as cocatalyst in combination with transition metal oxides or noble metals. The chemical reaction over the SCR catalyst is selective, i.e. the nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2) are preferentially reduced while undesirable secondary reactions (for example the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide) are largely suppressed.
- There are two types of catalysts for the SCR reaction. One type consists essentially of titanium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide and tungsten oxide. The other type is based on a zeolite structure. Further metal components are also added to the two systems in the prior art.
- In the case of TiO2—WO3—V2O5 catalysts, the V2O5 serves primarily as catalytically active species on WO3-coated TiO2 (in the anatase modification). The WO3 coating on the TiO2 is intended to function as barrier layer to prevent diffusion of vanadium into the TiO2 and the associated decrease in activity and formation of rutile.
- WO3-doped TiO2 is proposed for catalytic applications, including as DeNOx catalyst, according to the prior art as per U.S. Pat. No. 4,085,193. The process known therefrom is based on the addition of tungsten components to a titanium component such as metatitanic acid, a titanium oxyhydrate or titanium dioxide suspension) and subsequent calcination to set the surface area to about 100 m2/g.
- However, an additional, complicated milling step is often required before the further processing of the catalyst raw material. This is due to the fact that the tungsten-containing titanium dioxide material leaving the calcination furnace or after the heat treatment in the range from 150° C. to 800° C. is in the form of agglomerates in which the individual particles are joined to one another by sintering bridges or similar connections. In the case of relatively high-quality catalysts, in particular catalyst honeycombs having a very low web thickness, or application of the tungsten-containing titanium dioxide in the case of a “washcoat” to honeycomb bodies, milling is indispensable.
- In industry, this milling process is usually carried out in a pendulum mill, e.g. a Raymond mill.
- DE 102008033093 describes a process for producing a catalyst material comprising an optionally tungsten-containing titanium dioxide material, in which a titanium dioxide-containing catalyst material is produced as intermediate by milling in a roll mill, in particular a Gutbett roll mill, and the flakes leaving the roll mill as intermediate are not subjected after milling, in particular immediately afterward, to any deagglomeration and/or dispersing treatment.
- The porosity of the catalyst is also of critical importance to the catalytic activity of a titanium dioxide-containing catalyst for the selective removal of nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases and offgases in the presence of ammonia. Thus, EP 516262 describes a shaped porous support composed of titanium dioxide particles alone or of a mixture of titanium dioxide particles with particles of another, porous, inorganic oxide, where the shaped support has a total porosity of 0.8 cm3/cm3 which is made up of a microporosity encompassing pores having a pore diameter of 60 nm or less of from 0.05 to 0.5 cm3/cm3 and a macroporosity encompassing pores having diameters greater than 60 nm of from 0.05 to 0.5 cm3/cm3. This catalyst support is preferably produced by mixing of materials which can be burnt out with titanium dioxide particles and shaping this mixture.
- The object of the invention is thus to provide a catalyst material which displays improved properties compared to the materials known in the prior art.
- The object is achieved by provision of a catalyst material based on TiO2 in particle form having a content of metal oxide and/or precursors thereof selected from among vanadium oxide and tungsten oxide, where the average particle size D50 after dispersing is D50<1.0 μm, preferably <0.8 μm, and the volume of the mesopores (mesopore volume) of the particles is greater than 0.26 cm3/g.
- To determine the mesopore volume, the method of N2 porosimetry is carried out. The principle is described further below.
- To determine the average particle sizes D50 after dispersing, the pulverulent catalyst material is dispersed in water by means of an ultrasonic probe (at maximum power, manufacturer: Branson Sonifier 450, use of an increase in amplitude by means of a Booster Horn “Gold”, ½″ titanium tube having an exchangeable, flat working tip) for 5 minutes. The particle size determination is carried out by means of laser light scattering. Here, the average particle size D50 reported is the D50 median of the volume distribution in percent by volume.
- Compared to the materials known from the prior art, the catalyst material according to the invention has a higher mesopore volume, which leads to a higher catalytic activity. Furthermore, the catalyst material of the invention in the form of a tungsten-containing and/or vanadium-containing titanium dioxide displays very good dispersibility and an optimized pore distribution.
- Such a tungsten-containing titanium dioxide which even as powder, e.g. before application, has an optimized pore distribution is not known in the prior art.
- In a further embodiment of the catalyst material, 90% of the particles have a particle size of less than 1.5 μm and the average particle size (D50 median of the volume distribution in percent by volume, in each case determined by laser light scattering) is less than 1.0 μm.
- In addition, the pores of the preferably tungsten-containing catalyst material of the invention surprisingly have a bimodal mesopore distribution having maxima in the range from 8 to 12 nm and in the range from 15 to 20 nm. The materials known from the prior art, on the other hand, generally have an approximately monomodal mesopore distribution having a main maximum at from 4 to 7 nm. The invention therefore also provides catalyst materials according to the invention based on TiO2 having a bimodal mesopore distribution having a maximum in the range from 8 to 12 nm and a further maximum in the range from 15 to 20 nm.
- In the description of the invention, the definition of pore sizes routine in the literature is as described, for example, in “Fundamentals of Industrial Catalytic Processes”, R. J. Farrauto, C. H. Bartholomew, Blackie Academic & Professional, 1997, page 78. This document defines pores having diameters of dPore>50 nm as macropores, pores having dPore=3-50 nm as mesopores and pores having dpore<3 nm as micropores.
- The pore size distribution itself influences the shape selectivity and more rapid diffusion of the gas into and from the particles as a result of larger pore radii is made possible. This leads at the same time to a lower tendency for blockage of the pores as a result of the greater pore radii. In addition, the additional impregnation of the porous, tungsten-containing titanium dioxide with further active metal oxides (e.g. vanadium oxide) is aided by greater pore radii and a greater part of the surface area can therefore be coated with vanadium oxide and is therefore catalytically active.
- To apply a, for example, tungsten-containing titanium dioxide in the form of a washcoat, the titanium dioxide is dispersed in water. The pH of the suspension is usually set to pH values of <7. The titanium dioxide is preferably milled until a defined particle size has been reached. For the purposes of the present invention, good dispersibility means that the particle size after milling is d50<1 μm, preferably d50<0.8 μm.
- The particle size distribution of the (e.g. tungsten-containing) titanium dioxide in the washcoat substantially determines the mechanical properties of the finished washcoat, its adhesion to the substrate and the rheological properties of the suspension during the washcoat process. A coarse particle distribution in the washcoat can lead to poor adhesion of the washcoat to the substrate. The production of a readily dispersible (tungsten-containing) titanium dioxide without carrying out a costly milling step is not known in the prior art, but is made possible according to the invention.
- As a result of the better dispersibility of the catalyst material of the invention, i.e. the lower particle size after dispersing, the adhesion of the washcoat produced is improved and the accessible surface area is increased.
- The inventive catalyst material based on TiO2 preferably has a content of metal oxide and/or precursors thereof of less than 30% by weight based on the total amount of titanium dioxide and metal compound used. For the purposes of the present invention, precursors thereof are, for example, hydrated forms of oxides, hydroxides, etc., which are transformed thermally into the metal oxides. A metal oxide, in particular WO3, in an amount of from 8 to 15% by weight based on the total amount of titanium dioxide and metal oxide or compound used is suitable here. Particular preference is given to the metal oxide or its precursor being introduced into the catalyst material by addition of an ammonium compound such as ammonium tungstate. For the purposes of the invention, metal oxide precursors are, for example, hydrated forms of oxides, hydroxides, etc., which are transformed thermally into the metal oxides.
- The inventors have discovered that the specific surface area of the catalyst material of the invention at values of 100 m2/g, 200 m2/g and 300 m2/g in each case corresponds to an amount of 15% by weight, 30% by weight and 45% by weight of metal oxide, in each case based on the total amount of titanium dioxide and metal oxide and/or precursors thereof used. The invention therefore also provides catalyst materials having a content of up to 15 or 45% by weight and the corresponding specific surface area in each case.
- The catalyst material of the invention can be obtained by a process in which a suspension having a content of metatitanic acid TiO(OH)2 of preferably from 200 to 400 g of TiO2/l is initially charged, the suspension is brought to a pH in the range from 3 to 8 and, after a ripening time, preferably in a temperature range from 60 to 100° C. for a period of up to 180 minutes, is subjected to a hydrothermal treatment, preferably in the temperature range from 150 to 300° C. for a period of up to 24 hours, the suspension obtained is washed and filtered and the particulate material filtered off is dried, with a soluble compound of the metal being added to the suspension during the course of the process.
- The addition of the soluble metal compound can be carried out before or after the hydrothermal treatment, and addition before setting of the pH to the range from 3 to 8 is also possible. The addition of the soluble metal compound preferably takes place after the pH adjustment before the hydrothermal treatment. However, it is also possible to carry out the addition of the metal compound in a plurality of steps, i.e. to add partial amounts both before and after the hydrothermal treatment.
- As soluble metal compound, it is possible to use a compound which is transformed thermally into a catalytically active metal oxide and/or metal oxide precursor, e.g. into SnO2, CeO2, VON, CrOx, MoOx, WOx, MnOx, FeOx and NiO and CoOx. According to the invention, particular preference is given to adding a vanadium compound and/or tungsten compound, preferably in the form of a vanadate or tungstate. Very particular preference is given to the use of ammonium metatungstate.
- The setting of the pH can, according to the invention, be carried out using any neutralizing agent, but preference is given to the use of ammonia since, in particular, the introduction of alkali metal ions is avoided.
- Phosphoric acid can optionally be added before setting of the pH. This increases the thermal stability of the end product.
- Ammonium sulfate can optionally be added after the hydrothermal treatment. This makes targeted setting of the sulfate content possible. This makes it possible for the thermal stability and the catalytic activity to be increased further.
- The invention thus makes it possible to overcome the disadvantages of the materials of the prior art and, in particular, to provide a process for producing a TiO2-containing catalyst material which leads to catalyst materials based on TiO2 in the anatase form, with the catalyst material having good dispersibility and a bimodal mesopore distribution.
- In the opinion of the inventors, this is made possible essentially by the use of the hydrothermal process. Here, unlike in the case of ignition, the TiO2 (present as titanium oxide hydrate) is introduced after filtration and washing and setting of the pH of the suspension to pH 3-8 into a pressure vessel (autoclave) and maintained at temperatures of >100° C. for a period of from one hour to a plurality of (e.g. 5) days. This process step is referred to as hydrothermal treatment (cf. also Ullmanns Enzyklopädie der Technischen Chemie, 4th edition, 1978, Volume 15, p. 117ff: K. Recker, growing single crystals). A preferred period of time for the hydrothermal treatment of the TiO2 (present as titanium oxide hydrate) is from 2 to 24 hours, particularly preferably from 4 to 8 hours. In this way, more homogeneous crystal growth can be achieved in the aqueous suspension by the hydrothermal treatment with stirring, since in contrast to calcination no “hot spots” occur.
- The catalyst material which can be obtained by the process of the invention can, particularly as dried material, be used further directly and generally does not have to be subjected to milling.
- The process of the invention can therefore, in summary, provide the following process steps:
-
- initial charging of the starting material in the form of a titanium oxide hydrate suspension
- optional addition of phosphoric acid
- optional addition of a preferably water-soluble metal compound, in particular a tungsten compound (very particularly preferably ammonium metatungstate)
- adjustment of the pH to pH 3-8 (in particular with the aid of ammonia)
- optional addition of a preferably water-soluble metal compound, in particular a tungsten compound (very particularly preferably ammonium metatungstate)
- ripening time
- hydrothermal treatment
- filtration and washing
- optional addition of ammonium sulfate
- optional addition of a preferably water-soluble metal compound, in particular a tungsten compound (very particularly preferably ammonium metatungstate)
- drying (preferably spray drying or milling-drying)
- optional milling.
- The addition of the metal compound, in particular a tungsten compound, is possible according to the invention in various process stages. Thus, partial amounts of the total amount of tungsten component can be added in various process stages, e.g. before setting of the pH and before the hydrothermal treatment. It has surprisingly been found that a catalyst material produced in this way has good dispersibility and a bimodal mesopore distribution.
- The invention is illustrated with the aid of the following experiments and comparative experiments and also
